STUKES

Bio

Through the years, Marshall’s identity has been closely tied to music. His roots in hip-hop and r&b, and his love for rock and metal, lead to a lifetime multi genre journey, for which has landed him in the world of techno. Although he has loved music all of his life, Marshall started dabbling in music production after his best friend showed him FL Studio (a day which Marshall admits changed his life), and it took him over a decade to finally find his calling in producing techno. Whether it’s hard hitting 150bpm, or a chill 128bpm, Marshall, who DJ’s under his last name Stukes, spins and produces music that is true to who he is, with a heavy emphasis on Black self acceptance. No better example of this emphasis comes from his Black Techno Matters release, DLADWYA, which stands for “Don’t let anyone define who you are.”

What does liberation mean to you?

Liberation is the ability to live your life without fear of persecution or prejudice.

Liberation is reparations of the past being made and apologies have been offered.

Liberation is basic living needs are not under the exploitation of capitalism.

“Nobody is free until everybody is free.” - Fannie Lou Hamer
